Default Alignment done: Experts Verify Printout

I just got an alignment and was wondering if the experts here could tell me if all looks well. If it matters, the car is riding on stock 17's with brand new BFG's Sport G Force's. I took them up on the 5 year alignment program, so I can take it back anytime to get it adjusted. Here is a picture of the printout:

Dude at the shop said they couldn't adjust it, but asked me if when I drove I was pulling to the left or right. I told him, not really actually, so he said it should be fine.

Caster is slightly off, but the drive is probably not as noticeable on a stock suspension. It's not adjustable but watch for it in the long run.

damn, whoever gave u that printout is an idiot.
anyway, cross caster is not high enough to cause a pull, so you are good. everything seems good afterwards, so you should be fine. it feels fine of course?

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out.

Yeah it drives fine. No pulling, and nothing out of the norm. My main concern was with inner tire wear. I hear that's a common issue with GS's and since these tires are new, I wanted to do service to extend the life of them as much as I can. I read about folks saying the TOE affects tire wear big time, so I just wanted to make sure mine seemed ok to the community.
